Lyrics Coming To iTunes?

Tuesday April 24, 2007 7:51 pm PDT by longofest
According to Reuters, Gracenote is in talks with Apple to supply music lyrics for Apple's iTunes. Gracenote currently holds the rights to legally distribute lyrics from BMG, Universal Music, Sony/ATV and other content providers, and is used by iTunes to query CD track names.

Yahoo announced today a similar partnership with Gracenote to provide an ad-sponsored online music lyrics service.

I think this would be great, esp. if along the lines of "Get missing Album artwork". I don't like scrolling through music to get lyrics, and it would be great for that just sort of "happen". Let's hope this comes true.

wow this would be great! Although not all my music comes from those labels so I'm still going to use Canto iPod. :)

Would be cool if they implement lyrics into search, so If you do not know a name of a song you want to buy you search for the lyrics. Excellent

This would be awesome...but it figures they would get the feature right after I used a widget to add most of mine in...I hope they will replace the current lyrics, because some of the widget added ones have spelling errors and/or mistakes.

I just hope it works better than the Album Artwork b/c a lot of my albums are the wrong cover art. I ripped my own Led Zeppelin CDs but when iTunes pulled down the album art off of iTS, I got Dread Zeppelin cover art instead. :eek:

Finally-the Lyrics tab when you are editing a song's properties will be useful.


When does Yahoo! launch its lyrics service? Apple can't be far behind, I guess.

Karoake needs timing info too, though--lyrics text is not enough. Although some kind of manual "space bar for next line" system could help.
